Many users on here using WIFI on their home desktop computer vs Ethernet?
Reason I ask, Most of my WIFI gadgets (Stereo, xbox, boxee, etc) are in the living room. My desktop is in my bedroom. My signal strength in the living room is about 40%

I just bought a wireless bridge ( http://microcenter.c...et_Media_Bridge ), and was thinking of hooking that into my ethernet port on my mb (to become wifi), and move the cable modem/router to the living room.

I assume most users on here try to avoid WIFI on their main desktop pc due to lack of speed vs wired?

There are indeed uses for Wi-fi on desktops - especially if you do some of your computing in a room that is impossible or cost-prohibitive to wire.

I have a 42" FP plasma in my bedroom (which, due to the screen developing a black bar down its center, will be replaced at some point) that I sometimes used as an alternate screen (for seriously wide-screen computing, as it also supports HDMI/720p). For 720p, wireless-N is plenty for nonshooter/non-MMO MP (and even MMO MP on small maps) - even low-band N; however, at 1080p and on busier maps and higher loads, wired IS better due to lack of lag.

I use HomePlug wherever possible as I didn't put CAT5e/6 in the walls when I moved in (which in retrospect was a mistake), devices which move around (such as my laptop, tablet and smartphones) are on WiFi.
I find HomePlug much more reliable than WiFi.
